Your dog shouldn't dictate your life

Regain control, confidence and peace of mind on every walk

Your dog won't switch off. They ignore you on walks. And outside, everything feels out of control

I work with dogs who are constantly "ON", who lose their head, and turn everyday walks into something stressful instead of enjoyable

You've been told...

  • "Just walk them more"

  • "They'll grow out of it"

  • "Use better treats like cheese or sausages"

  • "Be calmer"

  • "Be sterner"

And none if it has actually helped... ​

Your dog can sit, stay, and behave relatively well at home. Then the lead comes out and it's chaos, then the door opens, and it's like you don't exist

They pull. They scan. They fixate. They lunge. They ignore cues they definitely know. They struggle to settle, even after exercise.

This isn't actually a dog that wants to be naughty

It's a dog that's overstimulated, unfocused, and missing the skills to regulate themselves correctly 

"I've tried everything..."

High value treats aren't the answer... otherwise your walks would already be calm

More exercise doesn't create control. More treats doesn't build focus

 

Waiting for maturity doesn't teach a dog how to cope or regulate their emotions

The problem isn't effort. It's that most training never touches what actually happens outside

 

And when we are outside, we try and train IN the moment, which only creates more friction and frustration for you and your dog

We don't do quick fixes

There is no magic wand, there is no quick fix that works and stays working.

 

​The real work begins where things fall apart:

  • On lead

  • Around distractions

  • When arousal is high

  • When your dog has already switched their brain off

​Real world control, calmness, and connection. This happens when you prepare for the moment, not IN the moment

Even when life is noisy, unpredictable, and challenging

The goal isn't obedience for show. The goal is creating a working relationship between you and your dog, and to get you both on the same wave length

But...

You might be thinking:

  • "My dog is too much"​

  • "Nothing works for us"

​​

  • "We've tried training before"

That is exactly who I work with

 

Most clients come to me after advice, classes, and online tips that failed

 

Not because they didn't try, but because their dog needed clarity, structure, and a plan that works in real life

The truth is...

Dogs don't calm down because their owners get softer or stricter

They calm down when:

  • expectations are clear

  • arousal is properly managed

  • focus is trained under pressure

  • the handler understands why the behaviour is happening

That's what we address. And that's why it works when generic advice hasn't

Walks feel chaotic. Control feels impossible. And your dog is always "on"

You don't need more hope. You need a clear way forward

Get in touch and tell me what your dog is like on a bad walk. Not their best day

That's where the real work starts
